On Your Porch Songtext
von The Format

I was on your porch
The smoke sank into my skin
So I came inside to be with you
And we talked all night
About everything you could imagine
′Cause come the morning, I'll be gone

And as our eyes start to close
I turn to you and let you know
That I love you

My dad was sick
My mom she cared for him
Her love, it nursed him back to life
And me, I ran
I couldn′t even look at him
For fear I'd have to say goodbye

And as I start to leave
He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me


"What's left to lose?
You′ve done enough
And if you fail, well then you fail, but not to us
And these last three years
I know they′ve been hard
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun
Even if it′s alone"

So now here I sit
A new hotel, a new sunset
And my thoughts bounce off the town's guitar
And that′s the way it's been
Ever since we were kids
But now, well now we′ve got something to prove

And I, I can see your eyes
But tell me something
Can you see mine?

'Cause what's left to lose?
I′ve done enough
And if I fail, well then I fail, but I gave it a shot
And these last three years
I know they′ve been hard
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun
Even if it′s alone
Alone, even if it's alone
I′m not alone, I'm not alone
Alone, even if it′s alone


I was on your porch last night
The smoke it sank into my skin
